Doctor Who

(2000)

Additional Information

Thomas' most successful thrift-store costume to date.

Every major piece of this outfit was second-hand in some way,
either inherited or found in thrift stores. The impetus for this
(and for Don's Mad Hatter costume) was a Costumers' Guild tea
party. Thomas hand-embroidered the question marks on the shirt
collar.

Originally, this was intended to be some future incarnation
of The Doctor, so elements were chosen which resembled many of
his previous personae. In 2004, Thomas (with instruction from
great friend Melissa Scott) knitted his own Doctor Who scarf
to more closely resemble the fourth Doctor's. In keeping with
the secondhand theme, the yarn for the scarf was inherited from
Thomas' mother.
